683I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible
I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post
I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time
I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

I’ve noticed that people will replace certain words with euphemisms, like “suicide” will get turned into something like “self-deletion”. or they’ll censor a letter, like “rape” will become “r*pe”
is it helpful to do that? like if I’m writing a CW, should I avoid using words like “rape” or “suicide” and use a more euphemistic or censored version instead?

kasdeyalast boost: if a game engine’s missing texture texture is anything other than purple-and-black checkerboard, does it even count as an engine?
also all missing models must be a big flashing red ERROR

still in (what netflix categorizes as) season 1, but holy hell, how is inuyasha so good
on the one hand, i can see the effects it would have on later media - a generation of then-adolescents wrote fan fiction and participated in role-playing who, in retrospect, were likely emulating this. it’s like unearthing the ur examples of all the tropes that define the online “cringe culture” of the early- to mid-2000’s
on the other, that observation raises the question of how one series could have such an outsized influence on (this particular side/era of) popular culture. the answer probably shouldn’t be such a surprise to me as it is: it really is just that good. the strong pacing, theming, characterization (as far as i’ve seen, anyway) all suit the story as a whole in a way that makes the anime bullshit work to the point it’s often imitated, but never duplicated

mei@donotsta.re- software written by people who do not take pride in their work, due to which the software is full of bugs
- software written by people who do take pride in their work, and have thusly burnt out, due to which the software is full of unfinished and/or missing features
- software written by people who are paid big money by investors, due to which the software is full of dark patterns and antifeatures
the art of using a computer involves learning to identify which of the above types a given piece of software belongs to, and choosing the software you use based on this tradeoff.

Shivaekul@infosec.exchange"Kiri-ai: The Duel" is a really cool clean game. Super minimalistic stylistic art and gameplay, you each play as a samurai on a simple linear battlefield. You can move, attack, or change stances, and play 2 cards face down and flip them at the same time. Each player has between 5 and 9 options at a time, all of which may not be actually effective, which is about perfect, it makes it really interesting to try and predict your opponent. Fun game :)

kasdeyaman every time I find a cool shooter on steam I check the reviews and it’s like
“the devs spat on my dog. they haven’t updated the game in 4000 years. it uses a rootkit that makes your computer melt through the floor like thermite. also it’s pay-to-win.”

kasdeyabiome is the worst linter I’ve ever used omg. it’s so opinionated about the stupidest things and every single diagnostic it gives is classified as an error and there’s no non-hacky way to turn them into warnings instead

I am once again bemoaning the lack of list comprehensions in javascript. look at the difference between this typescript code:
let hosts = Array.from(networkScanner.getAllHosts(ns))
.filter(([server, _, __]) => canHack(ns, server.hostname))
.map(([server, _, __]) => ({
hostname: server.hostname,
value: getXpRate(ns, server, ns.getPlayer()),
}));
return util.min(hosts, (i) => i.value);
and this Python code:
hosts = [{"hostname": server.hostname,
"value": getXpRate(ns, server, ns.getPlayer()}
for [server, _, _] in networkScanner.getAllHosts()
if canHack(ns, server.hostname)]
return min(hosts, key=lambda i: i['value'])
like idk maybe this is just me and the typescript version is just as readable if you’re experienced in both languages, but it looks so hard-to-follow and cluttered with syntax to me (not to mention how dependent it is on context that changes with each method call) that it makes me not want to write declarative code like this at all and exclusively use loops, and that feels bad
also util.min() is a custom function that I had to write because javascript doesn’t seem to have any equivalent of Python’s min() function
(just for context, this code is for a programming idle game called Bitburner so that’s why it’s about hacking things lol)
